When installing a trailer hitch receiver like # 75081 we do not suggest using Loctite on the bolts and nuts because the manufacturer doesn't. It isn't a bad idea in most cases to use # LT37643 because it will keep the hardware tight. The only situation where I wouldn't recommend it is when you have weld nuts in the frame, which isn't an issue with this hitch.
